That makes the next question for the Giants the timetable. Since 12 weeks pushes past the start of the regular season, Beason could go on the physically unable to perform list, leaving the window open after six weeks.

While it does leave some hope for the regular season, it’s still a tough blow for the Giants. The veteran linebacker helped stabilize things for them in the middle after coming over in a trade with the Panthers last year, and there’s not an immediate on-roster replacement.

If they think he can come back in that time frame, that might keep them from making a run at a veteran, while they see how he recovers.

PUP him to open up a roster spot, sign a veteran LB to take his place for now (Vilma, Angerer, Connor). Hopefully the above will play well enough that when Beason is ready to come back, we can have some nice veteran depth for the rest of the season.

Jon Beason was great in Carolina before his downward injury spiral started. I’m really sorry to hear about this latest issue with his foot. Man, playing in the NFL is just plain tough, especially when age starts to catch up with a guy and the injuries won’t stop coming.

12 weeks out n than the rehab beguines. There’s no telling at this point how long he’s going to b out. In fact at some point, if he’s not moving well, with his history of injuries, don’t b surprised if the jints put him on IR. But waite, there’s good news for jint fans. Now they have ligitiment excuses for y the jint defense playes like Swiss cheese with all their holes. And giant fans, do yourself a favor so your not living in a dream world, n check out the Eagle roster. It’s not just the offense that’s scary, but how about what’s going on defensively. At that point, giant fans will get a taste of reality. The Eagles r the cream, at least in the east, n may yet prove to b the best in NFL.

Injuries always suck but that being said this is perfect timing. 12 Weeks from now is the week of September 5th and the Giants first game is week 8. Barring any setbacks Jon Beason will probably play that monday nighter against Megatron and the Lions. Just plain idiocracy to put him on PUP list.
